On our road-trip to the Pyrenees I binged your 12-part podcast series. Really solid content—keep it up! My wife and kids were sound asleep, so the tech depth was clearly high enough. 😉

David and Willem cut straight through the Industry 4.0 buzz. At our Barcelona Innovation Summit they turned the ‘UNS’ concept from a slide-deck acronym into a practical blueprint our engineers and customers could start wiring the very next week. Their mix of strategic clarity and hands-on data-management tactics helped the attendees see how connectivity, governance and change management actually fit together.

Recently, I discovered itotinsider.com and I am going through all of The IT/OT Insider podcast backlog. 

Normally I listen to podcasts in the gym, walking, in the car – but that doesn’t work here, there is too much value and I need to make notes!!!

I want to give a shout-out to the podcast content creators David Ariens and Willem van Lammeren – their interviews with industry leaders are full of golden nuggets. I have listened to some of the podcasts multiple times.

The Industrial Platform Capability Map referenced in the blog and put together by David Ariens and the team at The IT/OT Insider is a great framework for thinking about deploying an enterprise ready solution. [..] Trying to solve these one at a time may seen intuitive but leads to an unmanageable mess of software applications and custom code piecing together what should be an enterprise platform that scales.

Before this training, every time I walked into the plant I felt like an outsider: i didn’t quite understand what the Operations people were talking about. On the other hand, we still had a clear mandate to start a roll out of our Fabric project.  What David and Willem taught us completely changed that. I now speak the OT language without dumbing things down or stepping on toes.

David Ariens’ latest article on Industrial Data Platform Capability Maps is a must-read for anyone tackling the complexities of Industrial DataOps. With a clear breakdown of the seven main capabilities—Connectivity, Contextualization, Data Quality, Data Broker & Store, Analytics, Visualization, and Data Sharing—David brings clarity to a space that’s often overwhelming. Thank you, David, for your thought leadership in helping us all cut through the noise in IT/OT integration! 🙌

Great introduction to the UNS concept for the uninitiated! Good to bring some nuance into the topic: multiple namespaces, building a vision and being use case/outcome driven rather than technology driven.

Factry

As a sales manager for industrial software, I thought I knew how to pitch to OT. Turns out I was mostly speaking ‘IT’ with a strong accent.

This training gave me the context I didn’t know I was missing… about the stuff that matters on the shop floor, how decisions actually get made, and why some of our best features weren’t resonating. Honestly, we just don’t have the OT/Operations expertise in our team. This training is now part of everybody’s onboarding program 🙂
